----------------------------------------------------------------------------------Q. When the band starts?tell us Dead Leaf Echo history...A- In opening decade of the 21st century, post 9-11, someone passed a copy of Lolita to an impressionable group of art students. After absorbing it they all walked away with an impassioned response to inform the world of the cruelty of love. Dead Leaf Echo is one of those responses.

Q: What are the band´s influences?A- Kandinsky on Phosphorescence, Malbec by Candlelight, Camus under Sunlight.

Q: Tell us about the Dead Leaf Echo´s gigs...?A- Massive db's of sound...... pushing Fender Twins past 3.........vocals that spin in the pool of burning desire churning out empirical knowledge of the human condition......while deep underneath bass,drums and guitars intertwine into one musical being.

Q: Tell us about the process of recording the eps, what´s the different between Truth from the others ones?A-We recorded "Truth" with John Fryer as opposed to not recording with him on the previous records. But also it's a concept record just as the other records. It's a consideration of how everyone is dealing with the idea of Truth at all times and this record was about exploring all the different levels of what it means and the reactions to it.

Q. What do you think about the shoegazer classic era?A-What is perceived today is far removed than what actually happened and digested at the time. Such is the way with history. Every band from that era has tried in one form or the other to escape the dreaded gaze tag. Things just never work out when your looking down.

Q: Which bands you love to made a cover version?A-Spoonfed Hybrid

Q: Which new bands you recommended?A- Slowness from SF, The Sky Drop from DE, Me You Us Them and all of our great friends from NYC, DC and Boston.

Q: What´s the plans for future....new records, a tour.A- We have our record "Truth" which will come out in October on 2&1 Records as well as a 7" "Half-Truth" on Custom Made. Hopefully Brazil will be our future.

Q: Any parting words?A- You can never stay too humble. We're only human beings not gods, sometimes people forget that. Hope to see you in Florianopolis.
